Psalm 96 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

96 Sing to Adonai a new song! Sing to Adonai, all the earth!
2 Sing to Adonai, bless his name! Proclaim his victory day after day!
3 Declare his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples!

via Ps 96 KJV;CJB – O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing – Bible Gateway.

Proclaim His victory day after day!

Do I?

Day after day does my life proclaim that YESHUA, JESUS the CHRIST, arose from the dead; has overcome death, the world, hell and the grave?

Does it?  I must answer that. Perhaps you must too.

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

ABBA, thank You for speaking. LORD JESUS, thank You for Your victory; thank You for allowing and enabling us to proclaim Your victory day after day. Help us be faithful. We continue to remember Jamie asking that You heal her; and Lance too and Others named in our respective hearts. We continue to remember Boston and West Texas, Texas – thank You for that Samaritan’s Purse is on sight helping. I pray every resource they need will be available timely. I pray for hearts to be comforted; for souls and bodies to be healed and spirits to be made alive in You Christ JESUS. Remember Israel for peace and protection; remember America for conviction and salvation, I pray. Revival us HOLY SPIRIT. And around the world I pray for the persecuted Church – for the Joy of Your Presence and strength meet for each day. Forgive us, have mercy on us and revive us, ABBA, for JESUS sake. Amen and amen.

Smorgasbord

I have a smorgasbord of thoughts this morning.

Remembering a conversation. One was so weary; weary of the wrongdoing of another; particularly that Other from all appearances continues to reap no adversity for the evil committed.

Hebrews 12:6-8 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

 8 All legitimate sons undergo discipline; so if you don’t, you’re a mamzer and not a son!

Keep pushing me, ABBA.
Spoken from a grateful heart. So grateful for the prodding(s) of the HOLY SPIRIT. Make that phone call. Make that phone call. But I don’t have time to do what we said we would do. Make the phone call.  Phone called made. Oh what a relief!! Worries gone. New mutual plan so good! Oh, ABBA, thank You. Thank You. Keep pushing me!

“This is the way; stay on it, whether you go to the right or the left.”

via Is 30:21 KJV;CJB – And thine ears shall hear a word behind – Bible Gateway.

16 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;

I will not leave you as an orphan.
When my beloved read those words from the WORD this morning my heart latched on to them. I will not leave you as an orphan. HE has not nor shall HE ever forsake me. Or any man, woman, boy or girl who has said YES, LORD YESHUA I will ‘marry’ You. I will enter into this holy covenant with You. Yes, I take Your gift of righteousness; and yes, here are my sins. I see You have taken the penalty of them for me.
I will not leave you as an orphan. I will surely come for you.
Amen and amen.

Got a smorgasbord this morning? Sit and dine. :)

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

Thank You, ABBA, for a smorgasbord of delight, comfort, correction, instruction, well-being and promises. Thank You for prodding(s). I invite You to keep pushing me. Keep pushing me. I love You, ABBA. And I have some loved ones to bring for healing and blessing and forgiveness and correction and help and mercy and encouragement and strength for this day. And for whomever comes here to read or pray, should they too need healing, need to forgive, need correction, help of any kind, mercy, encouragement, just strength for the day, I pray each will bow and receive that very gift from Your Loving Hands and Heart. Amen and amen.

Equanimity

John 14 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

14 “Don’t let yourselves be disturbed. Trust in God and trust in me.
via John 14 KJV;CJB – Let not your heart be troubled: ye – Bible Gateway.

Don’t let yourselves be disturbed. 

LET.

What a word! Three little letters telling me I have a choice! I have a choice to be not disturbed. What is disturbed, anyway?

The King James Version uses the word troubled. Either way. It is something we do not want to be but I can truthfully say, “been there; done that”.

We could say disturbed is to:

to cause one inward commotion, take away his calmness of mind, disturb his equanimity
to strike one’s spirit with fear and dread
to render anxious or distressed
via Tarasso – New Testament Greek Lexicon – King James Version.

But how, YESHUA, the Disciples might have been thinking. How can I be not disturbed when You have told us You are leaving? You have just said that Peter is going to deny You before daybreak.

How can you and I not be disturbed? How can our equanimity not evaporate in this world? Yesterday’s media was filled with news of the terrorist attack in Boston. Is that and a host of other things not grounds for being disturbed? Actually to the flesh yes it is!  BUT GOD.

YESHUA said:

14 “. . .Trust in God and trust in me.
via John 14 KJV;CJB – Let not your heart be troubled: ye – Bible Gateway.

John 16:33 “I have said these things to you so that, united with me, you may have shalom [peace]. In the world, you have tsuris [trouble]. But be brave! I have conquered the world!”
via John 16 KJV;CJB – These things have I spoken unto you, – Bible Gateway. [bracket added- mine]

Choose to TRUST. And believe me, it takes practice but more than that it takes the HOLY SPIRIT within to make it happen and He will as we choose to TRUST. Sometimes it is moment by moment.

I have more good news! Alyssa is back to a normal 10-year-old!! Even had a friend over for a sleepover recently!  Praise the LORD with me for what HE has done for Alyssa and her family. And give HIM praise for skilled doctors and staff!!

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

Thank You, ABBA, for what You did for Alyssa and her family. Thank You. And HOLY SPIRIT, it is my prayer that Alyssa will give You glory, will love You, and honor and TRUST You always; she and her family.
Terrorist attacks, ABBA. Did not take You by surprise. We acknowledge sin has so corrupted Your World; have mercy and forgive us; thank You that THE DAY is coming when You will set all things right. In the meantime, we choose to TRUST You. Thank You for helping us do that. And for the families of the dead, we pray for help and comfort; for the injured, we pray for healing. Thank You, HOLY SPIRIT, for being right there giving comfort and help and yes even protection and safety. Thank You for the thousands who were not injured or killed. And, ABBA, I ask You to expose and bring to arrest those who did this. The TEXT is a good lesson for today, ABBA. Thank You. Let us not forfeit our equanimity but rather TRUST You always; Your perfect love and holiness. We continue to ask for healing for Jamie and Terri and Lance and help and comfort for their families. And there are others we enintrust to You whose names we hold in our hearts; there are tasks to do, help us do them well for Your glory. Amen and amen in Your MIGHTY Name LORD YESHUA.
